TECH FEATURES
EST ALL MTN ROCKER
Rocker is paired with tapered sidecuts in both the tip and tail, providing flotation in soft snow and the versatility to make any turn shape. Camber underfoot maintains edge hold on the hard pack.

CARUBA CORE
Our lightest wood core material creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and damping characteristics required for descending the gnarliest terrain. This core makes no performance concessions in its quest to be ultra-light.

1.7 LIGHTWEIGHT EDGE
Light and strong, this heat-treated edge minimally affects the feel of the ski to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel.

COMP SERIES BASE
Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon creates our fastest base without sacrificing durability.

TI BINDING DAMPENER
Below the binding, a sandwich of rubber and Titanal works to reduce vibration that otherwise chatters into your boots and shortens your day. The extra damping lets you ski bell-to-bell.

AR Bat Tail Self Center Tail Clip Design
Backcountry = Bat Country with this tail clip zone built into ski that always keeps skins centered and secure.

AR75 SIDEWALL
Sidewall on 75% of the ski to allow for weight savings on tip and tail while maintaining ridgitiy and drive in the prime zone.
